Dow to unveil new subsea thermal insulation
ERJ staff report (BC)
Midland, Michigan, USA – Dow Corning Corporation will launch a solid, non-syntactic thermal insulation solution for high-pressure/high-temperature (HP/HT) equipment used in deepwater production infrastructure and tiebacks at the 2013 Subsea Tieback Forum & Exhibition.
Based on a room temperature curing (RTV) liquid silicone rubber (LSR) elastomer, XTI-1003 RTV silicone rubber insulation formulation is easy to mix and apply, says Dow. It cures to a durable, flexible translucent rubber without potentially harmful by-products.
The 2013 Subsea Tieback Forum & Exhibition is scheduled for 5-7 March at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, San Antonio, Texas. Dow Corning will be at Booth 957.
